Tillman, supra, 152 Conn. at 20 , 202 A.2d 494 , which required corroboration of "the specific kind of loss or injury embraced in the crime charged," should not apply in Harris because the crime of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor proscribes only conduct.

State v. Harrisgreen

2000The defendant argues that State v. Tillman, supra, 152 Conn. 15 , establishes the corpus delicti rule for crimes that result in a certain injury or loss, and that the rule of State v. Harris, supra, 215 Conn. 189 , applies only to those crimes that prohibit conduct but do not result in an injury or loss.

1991In State v. Harris, 215 Conn. 189, 193-96 , 575 A.2d 223 (1990), the court further liberalized the corpus delicti rule “when the crime charged prohibits certain conduct but does not encompass a specific harm, loss or injury. . . .” This further liberalization, however, is not implicated in the present case.
